Are you Bored yet??

Well, here I am…. What seems like years into the changes that I have made. Am I board? Well, I would be lying if I said no way… not at all!!! I guess I am a little bit. Let’s evaluate.

From a “lets talk about weight loss standpoint. I don’t see how I could be. It seems like EVERY day I see and hear about something new. I hear about some new study in the New England Journal of Medicine that debunks everything that we “think” we know about health, wellness, and exercise and weight loss. So, I guess I can’t be board there.

From a diet standpoint: this, I guess is the closest to being a boring thing. But, I am really not. For the last couple of weeks I have been eating at home… not a lot of restaurant visits. I have had meat loaf, red beans and rice, beer in the rear chicken, carrots, salads, boiled peanuts, sandwiches, granola bars, omelets, bagels, cereal coffee, orange juice, milk, diet cokes, beer… you get the idea. The list goes on and on. So, not really bored here either. As much as I have focused on easy, simple diets, I think that one of the keys here has been that my wife does a good job of mixing it up. Even if I am in the mood for something specific, she will change up the sides and it is not the same as the last time I had it. She is also pretty good about trying new things… So, even if they are simple, they don’t taste simple and don’t seem like the same ole thing.

Exercise: Nope!!! Not really bored. I guess that comes from pushing myself. I have made it a personal goal to get to a 27 minute 5K race. I am running in one at the end of the month (Chapel of the Cross Day in the Country 5K). I am sure that I will not reach my goal this time around, but I am still working on it. In addition to that, I am still working out with Paul Lacoste’s group… he always mixes it up, even within particular workouts.

So, I think that the answer is NO… not bored. And if I am going to continue to have success on this trip… I want to keep it this way.
